Animals

What's the best part of the Kentucky Derby? The hats? The horse racing? The glasses filled with cold, cold whiskey? We couldn't decide, so we put some hats on some horses to help us figure it out. It didn't help. We'll make up our mind tomorrow when the race is over.

One man has trained his dog to hate kisses or affection. Sure, it's cute, but they've spent so much time together, and Owner was totally there for Dog that time he ate the Chunky bar -- he even took him to the doctor and washed the puke out of his hair...

We're not sure whom to admire more here—the brave little kittens, or the incredibly patient and gentle dogs.

Feeling a little sleepy? Is that fifth cup o’ joe not cutting it for you today? It’s OK, these animals know how you feel. Everyone hits that mid-afternoon (or mid-morning) slump sometimes, and furballs are no exception. We’re talking about the days where yawn attacks are never-ending, and we might’ve fallen asleep at our desk for a quick sec. It happens.

Quick – what do camels eat? This video shows they may have a hankering for little girls.

Some people express confusion over Americans celebrating Cinco de Mayo, when it's not even that big of a deal in Mexico. We express confusion over people turning down an excuse to eat tacos and sip tequila until the sun comes up/you've gone cross-eyed. Not to mention, did you see that photo? That is a capybara wearing a fake mustache. We rest our case.

Last year dog owners gained a venue on which to extract some revenge on their misbehaving pooches with the Dogshaming Tumblr. Now, with the Bunny Shaming Facebook page, folks with pet rabbits have a place to turn when their furballs make trouble.

Don't feel too bad -- it's a quokka, and it lives primarily on some islands off the coast of Australia, and is currently listed as being a "vulnerable" animal.

Hedgehogs are fairly irresistible, aren't they?

University of Maryland junior Rebecca Martinson's swear-riddled, histrionic email to her fellow Delta Gamma "sisters" has taken the internet by storm this week. But what if an actual cat were spewing that verbal venom? Or, say, a puppy? Wouldn't an elephant perhaps deliver the most effective punt of all? And since Martinson just resigned from her position at Delta Gamma, we thought we'd

Achieving a perfectly-timed picture is tricky stuff, because it doesn’t usually happen on purpose. But when these photos are done right, the result is Web G-O-L-D.

There's nothing surprising about our pets getting into shenanigans when we're not looking. Sometimes we find the little buggers in the act, and what results is adorably hilarious. But other times, we're not lucky enough to catch them red-handed, although their guilty expressions totally allude to trouble.

At first, it's a little unnerving to see a big ol' dog playing with a teeny-tiny baby.

Maybe it's not okay to laugh at the misery of others, but would you just look at how much this corgi hates wearing a panda costume? It is hilarious.

It's not just our dogs who have trouble on these agility courses, we humans do too.
